Update on progress:
97 objects observed so far.
I am counting any object I have observed AND recorded in my log book.
Hmmm.... long way to go! I should have taken better notes over the years!!
NGC 5979 is not on the list, but is quite an easy PN. I can pick it up easily in town under moonlight with the 235mm. Maybe if you ever decided to revise the list, it could make a subsitute appearance...
